The truth is I study to a lot of different kinds of music. While writing my book, Note to Self, the music in the background varied from film scores, to jazz, to Gothenburg metal, to alt. country/folk, to instrumental post-rock, to classical, to worship music. It all depends on my mood and the subject matter. I'm not going to cover any other playlists than one more--worship music.

By worship music I don't mean to conjure up any particular style of music, but music that focuses on the realm of redemption and is generally written for use in a congregational context. I actually have two worship playlists in iTunes. One that has everything, and one a bit more selective. Today I am sharing the latter. These are some of the albums that truly move me to marvel and sing of the grace of God in the work of Jesus Christ.

I could have put many more albums on this list, but decided to keep this pretty narrow and allow you all to jump in with some of your favorite worship/sacred music albums. Throw 'em up in the comments.
